Summary

Instead of general truths, Ecclesiastes 5 now turns to directly advise you, the listener. Today Emma Dotter interviews faithful Watermark member Sarah Hamilton. Sarah explains there is a shift from Chapter 5 from the first person to the second person. The Teacher is shifting from his own point of view to now directly telling the listener what they are supposed to do. Saying phrases like, “When you make a vow…” Sarah tells us there is an action in seizing the good and choosing to see that good that comes from God.

0:00.0	All right, all right, join the Journey family, friends, and guests.
0:04.5	You're listening to Join the Journey podcast with your host, Emma Daughter.
0:10.4	Thanks for joining.
0:11.6	Today, we are reading Ecclesiastes 5 and 6.
0:14.6	And if you are listening to today's episode, On the Day, it's come out.
0:18.9	We are on day 15 of our 21 days of prayer and fasting campaign,
0:23.8	and today's prompt is to sit silently before the Lord and reflect on the gift of your
0:29.1	salvation. Ask the Spirit to show you where the Lord is sustaining you. Psalm 62, 1 through 6.
0:35.5	So that said, if you haven't yet spent time in prayer this morning, pause the
0:39.8	episode, take that challenge, and spend some time sitting silently before the Lord. Otherwise,
0:45.1	today I am in the studio with faithful watermark member Sarah Hamilton. Hey, Emma. So excited to be
0:50.6	here. Sarah, it is good to have you here. We used to work together on the comms team, which was pretty fun. So I'm glad you're in the studio with me now. Yeah, so excited. Would you share a little bit about what God's done in your life? Of course. I'd love to. So my name is Sarah Hamilton. I grew up in Allen, which is just a little ways north of here. Just grew up up in a Christian home, was really blessed that my
1:11.0	parents were both believers and just shared about Jesus with me from a young age and just was
1:15.6	involved in church growing up. And so I'd say like by the time I was 13, I just, the truth of the
1:20.7	gospel really became real to me and just fully accepted that Jesus was my savior, that he was
1:25.3	fully man, fully God. He came to earth to be a sacrifice for my sin.
1:29.2	And so I knew that I needed his saving to be reconciled with God.
1:32.7	And so accepted Christ and got baptized when I was 13.
1:36.4	And then I went to college after high school.
1:39.0	I went to Texas Tech, recum, for anyone out there.
1:42.2	And college was just a really big catalyst for my faith. I think it was
